Stem Cells/Cell Therapy in Ophthalmology Tables Updated

Thanks to an effort underway (and to be published in December by Mark Hellin, editor of The Ophthalmologist (UK), I learned of several new clinical trials (and companies/institutions) involved in using stem cells in treating ophthalmic disorders. Thus, with the new additions, I decided to update my online tables of stem cell use in ophthalmology.

The latest versions of the three tables list all of the companies/institutions involved, the applications being researched, and the status of the clinical trials underway, the later with live links to the individual clinical trials on clinicaltrials.gov.
